RE: Copy, Paste, STEEMIT! Making Money Off Of Other People’s Content?
Did you read the embed link or not?
There is an enterprise level business created called embed.ly that is providing the sharing service using this open source code already. They understand that's what people do and created a service to provide what you guys are calling plagiarism as a service. When done right it can credit the author, provide a link, and add content here easier than stealing it.
All I am trying to point out is that there is no need to waste all this effort to police it, and code bots to scan content, and put people in power to moderate it, if the same service can be done easily by simply embedding the content like people do every day with tweets and youtube videos.
Nope. I'll admit I read the first sentence and responded because I needed to do something else, sorry. I read your post on oembed and knowing Dan I think the more likely outcome would be that Dan simply creates his own version of that app for Steemit or finds a better solution that doesn't need a third party app. I'm basing that off of his past history and his responses to my own promotion of third party apps for his ventures. ;)
For instance, I wanted BitShares to integrate with Qora for a decentralized social media experience. Instead, Dan created Steemit. ;)
Yeah, I expect they would want to code their own version too. That's why I linked the 2 open source versions of it :)
I don't care what service they use, its the idea that solves both problems at once while removing the need for policing that is worth spreading.
Hopefully someone will check it out before wasting any more energy on ai content downvote bots.
